The only thing I thought I'd add is thinking to join and create joining is where most go wrong in Aiki-do in the first place. Its mid level level.
Aiki is NOT manifested in the joining it has to be manifested in you. In yo or yin yang in you.

You can teach it and have folks doing it in short order if they'll work hard.

join may not be the right word to use but I couldn't think of another word that was better. I didn't mean to imply that one tries in any sense to join or that aiki which is not a term I use is the joining. More like joining, connection, or what have you happens as an side effect of what as you put it as being "manifested in you".
So I agree with you. It's what I am doing, the non-dissension that I manifest, that creates the effect.
I would add to "if they'll work hard" and that if they will be really honest with themselves and take their ego out of their practice.
